With veteran voice actor Harry Shearer announcing his departure from The Simpsons after 26 seasons, the show is set to be short a serious number of leading characters. Who could possibly replace the appalling Mr. Burns, Homer’s nemesis neighbor Ned Flanders or the fantastically-ineffective Principal Skinner? Fortunately, we’ve re-cast the top eight Shearer roles. You’re welcome, Fox!

William H. Macy as Ned Flanders Macy clearly has been practicing– 10/10 for voice and ’stache.

Daniel Radcliffe as Waylon Smithers Well Harry Potter did get older (not that much older) and he’s worked on the show before!

James Tolkan as Mr. Burns He’d have to lose some muscle, but Tolkan’s got the scary-bald-boss thing down.

Joe Morton as Dr. HibbertHibbert’s crazy laugh has got to be light relief after Scandal.

Jon Hamm as Reverend LovejoyThe slick quiff, the repentant attitude–isn’t Don Draper at a loose end these days?
